I particularly like the Geordie accent followed by the Bolton, Ulster Scots County Antrim, the Glaswegian, Welsh valleys and I find the West Country accent very endearing.
Dont mind a proper Cockney but hate the fake ones some have along with the fake Gangsta accents tinged with fake American/African/West Indies when they haven't set foot out of their home town.
Though the Es***, Dublin and Londonderry accents do grate.
Brummie I find comical, even in Peaky Blinders.
Favourite of all is a woman with a deep south accent, Louisiana, Georgia.
Phew.
